Let’s be honest, it’s a scary, unsettling time in the world. Like most folk I struggle at times with worries for the future, feeling helpless and sometimes a big dollop of rage too. I think I actually prefer the rage to the blues! Writing always helps as it’s a wonderful escape. So does riding my horse. Being present and in the moment is key for me and I am making a big effort to stop doomscrolling on my phone. I've been focusing on finding ways to cope that feel calm:

A moment of inspiration…

I recently took a quiet walk on the beach that turned into something a little more reflective. It sparked a piece of writing, inspired by this landscape and its literary past. There's a small fisherman's huer here that was once the bolt hole of another Cornwall based author ...

Writing this felt like stepping into a thread of something timeless, a sense of continuity between stories then and now.

I hope you enjoy it.
